Description:
With warmth, a popular radio and podcast host shares her love of language, weaving together linguistic history, regional phrases, the hidden poetry in etymologies, new words, and stories from her life and time on the air
Martha Barnette has spent two decades as the co-host of A Way with Words, lauded by Mary Norris in The New Yorker as “a virtual treasure house” and “‘Car Talk’ for Lexiphiles.” Over that time, she’s developed a keen sense of what fascinates people about language. They are curious about etymology and revel in slang, are surprised by regional vocabulary and celebrate linguistic diversity. Idioms both puzzle and delight word lovers, and they are eager to share family neologisms and that weird phrase Grandma always used to say.
In Friends with Words, Barnette weaves together all these strands in a clear, informative, highly entertaining exploration of language. Chock-full of anecdotes, humorous asides, new words, trivia, and other lexicological delights, Friends with Words also tells Barnette’s story—from her Appalachian roots through her study of Ancient Greek, and on to the making of a beloved and enduring show. Friends with Words is an expert, good-humored, joyful book.

Great Book
Format: Hardcover
I got this book for my Son, he really likes TMNT. This book pretty much explains how the turtles became TMNT. He really enjoys the book and we read it every other night, along with his other books.
Highly Recommend this book. I believe the price for this book is reasonable, almost better than stores. Haven't seen this one in stores.

A little injury to the spine but no big deal
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
We ordered this for my sons 3rd birthday as he is really into TMNT and my husband re-lives his kid days with the older version of Ninja Turtles. The first book we got had a lot of damage/scuffs to the spine. We reordered and this one still had some but not as bad. It isn't a huge deal because it'll get torn up some anyway with my son playing with and reading it, but I did want it to look somewhat decent. He loves the book! It's a little longer of a read for him right now but he enjoys it.

Can’t complain about these little golden books. This came just as advertised and the story is kind of like a comic book. Our child and we love it!
